ball convert downs hands needed third
We just needed to keep the ball in our hands and convert those third downs and get some points. But we just didn't do it.
ball bearing safety tried
The safety was bearing down on him. So I tried to get the ball up so he could make a play, and he did.
ball biggest cutting defense difference good running smarter
We're cutting down on our mistakes. We're being smarter with the football. We're running the ball much better. Our defense has been good all year, but offensively, the biggest difference is that we're running the ball. That makes everything a lot easier.
ball forefront minds
That's at the forefront of our minds -- getting the ball downfield.
available ball guy hard plays teams underneath
Most teams will not give you the plays downfield, ... particularly when you've got a guy like Santana, who has made big plays. You've got to be patient, and you've got to take what's available to you with the underneath stuff. So it's about being patient, but sometimes that's really hard to do, because you want to get that ball downfield.
ball game last passing ran
We were one-dimensional last year. We ran the ball very well, I thought, but our passing game was lacking. When you can have that balance, you're more efficient.
ball turn win
Turnovers killed us. You're just not going to win if you turn the ball over.
ball great guys runner telling week
You guys were telling me all week what a great runner I was, ... but you've got to tuck the ball away. If you don't, it will come out.
ball passing run shut
We need to run the ball and set things up for the passing game. They shut us down.
ball best convert downs field good hands matt needed offense score third
With a good offense like Seattle, with Matt and all those guys, they have a very good offense, the best in the league. If they're on the field long enough they're going to score some points. We just needed to keep the ball in our hands and convert those third downs and get some points, and we just didn't do that.
advantage ball giving hurt mistakes offense playoff realize situation smart team three
The offense that makes the most mistakes, that's the team that's going to lose. They had three turnovers, we only had one and it didn't hurt us. In a playoff situation like that, you realize that that is the most important (factor) - being smart with the ball and not giving it to them, because if you do, they're going to take advantage of it.
ball great
He got the ball and made something happen. That's what the great ones do.
pressure needs balls
For me personally, I need to anticipate pressure and tuck the ball away.
balls completion early good great grip knew lost threw worry
I knew when he threw it that he lost the grip a little bit, ... I told him it was a great decision, and not to worry about it. Early on, many times the balls are a little slick. If he had a good grip, it would have been a completion for at least 40 yards.
